how much do you think this will be worth in 10 years?
OH LOOK ANOTHER ASTROTURF SHILL THREAD
by who
please tell me who you think would be astroturf shilling for a fucking b-list musician who makes music in her bedroom
Fuck off with these threads, day in and day out.
These threads serve a communal need. Do you want to see Grimes posted on every thread or do you prefer one giant thread for the greatest musician of this century?
>complaining about grimes thread on a grimes board
we can't stop
trips confirm grimes board
suck a pen15, grimes threads are my new family
quick someone buy it
> post your face when you realize there are people who have never experienced introspection while listening to Grimes
How sad must that be?
...
in the vein of
any more pics of her with this look?
How the fuck can you have a general for a single artist?
how the fuck can you have a general for anything?
someone post the copypasta of what can be found in grimes threads
Because that artist is Grimes. Have you never heard of her?
there are enough fans/haters
probably also because she is also a model so there are tons of photos to dump
I wish she would go on trailer park boys. Maybe as Ricky's new autistic girlfriend now that Lucy's gone.
also because ppl relate to her before she got famous
only when the artist is queen of Sup Forums
Fuck off with your Grimes spam already, jesus christ kill yourselves
Regardless of what you think about Grimes, on her threads you can find:
- good discussion (occasionally really good)
- pics
- memes and pastas
- obvious shitposts and trolling
- hate speech
- youtube links.
They all tend to have a shitload of replies and flamed arguments. They're diverse and entertaining. People that love her or love to hate her, they all enjoy posting non-stop about one of the best artists of the decade.

Grimes is like a lot of different artists combined into one. Each and everyone of us has its own favourite Grimes, but at the end of the day, they are all Grimes. People of all nations unite in these threads to show some love for the best artist of the decade.
Grimes is not just an artist, she is our universal language.
Regarding that meme pic: do you realize that you'll die too? You also posted ITT.
I would destroy her enemies, but everyone loves her!
>last scrobble in 2007
hwew
>discussion
Actually yes. I've seen more discussion in Grimes threads than on most Sup Forums threads. If you trolls would stay away from them, it would be even better.
Yes, Mexico here.
Sadly, she gave up scrobbling. She started having a shitty life for a while until she found some success with her music.
People of all nations, races, genders, whatever love her. Music is truly the universal language.
>took her name from grime music after discovering the existence of the genre on Myspace
that's kind of a weird . wonder why she stuck with it
this, they played her music at the olympics to pump up people during gymnastics
Maybe she just got used to it in the same way you would pick an username and get used to it.
Anyway, here's the detailed story:
>"On myspace ur genre could be grime and u could have 3 genres so i was plural grime, b4 knowing what grime was," she tweeted. "I was originally too embarased of this story so i told journalists i was named after frank grimes, who is also very cool. Or wait, no i said i was named after someone else named grimes argh, -- see this is why you shouldnt lie to journalists."
>i was originally too embarased of this story so i told journalists i was named after frank grimes, who is also very cool
>i was very please to discover that i actually loved grime music
Take a gander and you'll find out.
some people were saying on myspace that she was making grime, so she believed that
>Clearly doesn't realize it's a reference...
It's true, though.
That's actually how Claire insulted a troll on instagram, lmao. What a foooool this user is...
This shit thread is almost worse than moe = emo threads. I hope it goes the same way and dies.
No problem. I am collecting all good grimes pastas.
For a long time I had this theory: the impossibility of a female Kurt Cobain. What he represents, leaning against the system and yet supported by consumers, there was no woman in the world that could command the masses so utterly. The music industry wouldn't let her. This thing I've been stewing about since I saw Grimes play to 20 people in 2011, and started reading her Tumblr, and then really starting feeling when "Oblivion" came out, is that Claire is the closest thing we have to a female Kurt Cobain, smart enough to understand the system but righteous enough to wall-jump away from it. But also, interestingly, what an inversion her approach is to Kurt's. His pose was anti-establishment, her pose is post-structural. He was rigorous, she is always looking outward, game for genre-experimentation and hilarity. I feel like even if I don't like her music, and I do so far, I will always feel like she's several steps ahead of me, several books ahead of me, and that makes me feel really fucking good. Anyone who gives her grief about anything can kick rocks as far as I'm concerned.
As sickeningly hyperbolic as this sounds, I really can't fault you for saying it - bravo, user.
Yes. It used to be that these threads (like most others on /mu) needed constant trolling in order to stay afloat. No longer - trolls, you served your purpose. Now kindly stay put under your bridges.
Actually some trolls ignited some serious musical debates, besides bumping the threads.
typical garbage electro pop made for the socially inept, enjoy it for the next year before it goes into obscurity
Oddly enough, this isn't the first time I've heard someone draw (positive) comparisons between her and Kurt Cobain ('twas irl, too.)
>ywn have a deep convo with grimes
why are we here... just to suffer?
>being this delusional
Grimes is popular here since 2012 and became extra popular after she released Art Angels in late 2015. Do you really think she's going to fade away just like that? Prepare for at least 10 years of intense discussions, assuming she will release more albums.
Well... I guess that makes Owen Pallett a fan:

He's indeed a fan.
post >yfw you get that chance it turns out grimes is as shallow as they come
blonde grimes is the best grimes
Grimes, shallow? Nah
I like her new haircut. It suits her very well.
this is the best grimes
the "cool" grimes
The underappreciated Grimes.
indeed

THE QUEEN OF Sup Forums
can confirm

what?
In 2010 when she released both Geidi Primes & Halfaxa very few knew about her. Just 2 years later and she became the music press's darling. Grimes has this special gift of being consistently great, from the saddest songs like Shadout Mapes to the most euphoric and energetic songs like Kill V. Maim. A song for every mood.
>this person is the same one who denied being a fucking nerd
wew lad
No doubt about it.
when she used that hoodie and other with stolen valor
That reminds me of that pasta with her being made in an Asian factory or something.
